On a machine at work (1.4) and home (1.4C) it doesn't work. Running
'mount' doesn't even show the option set; checking the atimes manually
shows them updated. I haven't checked any other options specifically to
see if they've been broken. I'll give this some more investigation.

This is with ffs, and I'm using the same syntax I have been for years.
